Product Description

CALLED TO LOVE is a down-to-earth, easy-to-read account helping the reader to feel Mother Teresa's spirit. In the Introduction, Raphael tells of her personal experiences with Mother Teresa, how she changed her life and taught her to love. The book itself is a dramatic narrative allowing the reader to witness the miracle of her life and work.

One reader said he had planned to take in a few pages each night, but it grabbed him and he devoured every page before he put it down. It raised my spirits at the same time it made me want to cry, he said, and I felt this sense of peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare glimpse at one remarkable woman . . ., June 9, 2000

By A Customer

"Mother Teresa, Called to Love" is a compelling look at the saintly woman who served as the world's conscience during much of the 20th century. The author, Maryanne Raphael, has captured a rare glimpse at one remarkable woman. When I finished the book I felt at peace."

4.0 out of 5 stars Mother Teresa, Called to Love, August 21, 2008

By	Karen V. Reider (Sedona, Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A little depressing, and if you are the hughest of her fans, it will disturb you. I still think very highly of her. And hey, it's good to know we're all human.... Even Mother Teresa! God bless her, she did what she did even with a heavy heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars a saint for our time, September 3, 2003

By A Customer

I have read many biographies of Mother Teresa. Some of them had too much information and were not in chronoligical order and confused me. Mother Teresa, Called to Love was easy to read and very interesting. I found it inspirational. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know about Mother Teresa and her great unconditional love for our world and all its people.
